How to perform

Attach an EZ bar to a high cable pulley. Stand facing the machine, feet shoulder-width apart. Grip the bar overhand, shoulder-width apart. Keep elbows close to your sides, slightly bent. Start with the bar at chest level, maintaining cable tension. Extend your elbows to fully extend your arms. Pause briefly at the bottom. Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the movement.

Tips

Engage your core for stability. Avoid momentum; focus on controlled movements. Keep elbows stationary and close to your body. Adjust weight for proper form. Exhale on the push down, inhale on the return.
